West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made significant changes to the leadership of the state's Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Damayanti Sen, who had been serving as the Additional Director General (ADG) of Training, has been removed from her post, with Rajshekharan appointed as the new ADG (Training). The announcement of this reshuffle comes as part of the state government's ongoing efforts to reorganize and strengthen the CID, which handles important criminal investigations and intelligence gathering across the state.
Rajshekharan will now oversee police training in West Bengal, focusing on enhancing law enforcement capabilities through modern training techniques. The government also confirmed that the name of the new CID chief will be announced today by Nabanna, the state secretariat. This move follows a statement by Mamata Banerjee earlier this week, in which she indicated her plans to overhaul the CID "from top to bottom," underlining her commitment to reforming the department's operations and leadership.
